If I had to choose between this or a phev Ranger, it’s this every time.
Australians expect to be able to punish their vehicles over harsh terrain and have it come back in one piece.
Oh please. The most off road the majority of dual cabs get is mounting kerbs in a drive through.
Some imported dual-cab utes struggle with the kerbs of drive throughs.
Whether they actually get used for it or not is immaterial. People like to believe they will go out bush with them.
On the other side, I gladly take my Outlander off the beaten track. I took it through a river crossing last month that I probably shouldn’t have. It handled it like a champion, though.
I don’t know whether I’d take one of these through that same crossing.
People are going to whine about the towing capacity, but can’t beat that price. I’m wary of being an early adopter, but I’m thinking of taking one for a test drive. Lightweight camper on the back, induction stove on board, should be tidy.
Pity it’s such a big vehicle, I’m not a fan of the chunky ute trend.
I’ve got no need or interest in a dual cab, but we’ve got a BYD Seal and love it.
Chinese manufacturers are kicking arse, and making the usual brands look antiquated and overpriced.
Some of the Chinese EVs are impressive. I think a number of European and US brands are in denial.
Some are in big trouble and won’t make it.
byd seal looks amazing, the only thing I’m not sure on is the infotainment system, but I’m hoping by 2030 when I get my next EV the tech will have come along quite nicely
